Indulge in rich audio where you can hear your music in crystal clear clarity. Take in guitar strumming, crisp cymbal clashes and deep pounding bass as detail lost during file compression are now beautifully restored. The built-in X-Fi technology intelligently moves a conventional left/right earphone stereo source away from your ears, virtually expanding it for an audio experience with a breathtakingly realistic depth of field. You'll feel as if you were listening to your music from a pair of high end speakers. Less

I've had good experiences so far with Creative products and the Zen X-Fi did not disappoint.

Creative in recent times have put their foot off the accelerator with their last "big thing" being the Zen Vision:M.

Creative ZEN. Affordable and easy to use.

Pros Lightweight, ease of use, portablility, extreme durability.

Cons Lack of modern day technology.

Recommended it? No

This ZEN is pretty much indestructable. You can throw it on hard floor, toss it around and around, and even drop it a billion times, and it will still work! The trouble is, for $120, it is a tad bit expensive. For $80 more, can purchase an iPod Touch.

In my 3 years of having owned... Read full review »

Great Product. The creative zen is very easy to use. The SD card expansion bay is a great value, and you can store extra music, videos, and lots of other stuff on it. Only problem is that the SD card info is not integrated in the main library. I would wish, however, that... Read full review »
